(*) Henry Maigrot said Henriot, was born in Toulouse in 1857. He studied law at last he abandoned to devote himself entirely to his talent as a cartoonist. He delivers many cartoons for the press at the time. He entered the Charivari at the urging of Pierre Veron. In 1890 he became director of the Charivari and then collaborated with the illustration. He died in 1933 at Nesle-la-Vallée (Val d'Oise). His work is rich and varied. "(...) Its production in political matters, very moderate, trying never to be nasty, he tries to do every week to find a word as fair as possible about the events that pass, and all that clever mixture of various flows effortlessly sketch of a fantasy expert, easy, surprisingly flexible. It is mainly a "actualist" very simple, fleeing the advertising, living with him very quietly, surrounded by books and prints he loves. The man who sees everything, all the sails up, the race to the things of the day, time is époumonnante, returned in the bourgeois pleasures of a peaceful home, his daily work done once the brain has been drained a series of illustrated stories of attraction momentary thing, read the newspaper while he rests in the care of expensive books, engravings, precious in the midst of all that is left finally ... "(Emile Bayard, caricature and cartoonists, Paris, Delagrave, nd). The municipal library of Rouen has shown an autograph from 296 original watercolors of Henriot (on Guy de Maupassant, Boule de Suif, 1926 - Acquisition 2004).
